Specialized Care for Our Borough’s Unique Neighborhoods

Our crew has spent decades mastering the specific requirements for Ho-Ho-Kus’s diverse residential enclaves:

The Cheelcroft Section:
We specialize in the meticulous care required for Harold Cheel’s iconic Tudor and storybook homes. Our process includes specialized treatments for stone facades, decorative half-timbering, and wood shingle siding to preserve that 1930s “old-world” allure.
The East Side & 16 Acres Park:
Homes near the Ho-Ho-Kus Brook face higher humidity and heavy shade from local Red Oaks. We utilize mildew-resistant coatings like Benjamin Moore Aura to protect these properties from moisture rot and fungal growth common in lush, wooded lots.
Village Center & Downtown Residences:
For those living near the historic Ho-Ho-Kus Inn & Tavern, we provide “white-glove” interior updates that modernize your living space while respecting the classic architectural “bones” of the property.

Ho-Ho-Kus Homeowner FAQ

Q: Do I need a permit for exterior painting in Ho-Ho-Kus?
A: Ho-Ho-Kus classifies painting as an “Ordinary Repair” under Borough Code, meaning no permit is required. However, for homes in historic zones, we help ensure your color palette respects the neighborhood’s aesthetic character.
Q: How do you handle homes with heavy shade and humidity?
To protect your home from the persistent moisture and mildew common under Ho-Ho-Kus’s dense arboreal canopy, we utilize specialized, high-performance finishes that are specifically engineered to withstand the deep “Red Oak shade” and high humidity levels characteristic of our borough’s wooded estates.
